December 2012 Texas Trip

Rachel - 3, Joseph - 21 Months

There is always a pre-vacation Costco shopping trip.


Our valiant travelers after the first full day in the car.



Hurray!  It's Grandmother!


Worn out!


Doug's treats!







My angel mother!


We were thrilled that my Mom wanted Zoe.  We wanted her to be in a home where she would be loved.  She is the best little dog!


On a side note:  Zoe has since moved to be with our niece Sydney.  They are the best of friends.  I think it is an ideal situation for them both.

Trick-or-Treating 2013

October 31, 2013  Rachel was 4 and Joey was 2.  Rachel and Joey were so fun.  They thought everybody should give them candy.  They even "trick-or-treated" other kids.  They were somewhat successful as parents would take candy from their kids to give to Rachel and Joey.







All done!  Now to inspect our loot!




After the kids were in for the night they continued to hear the doorbell ring.  Every time Joey would announce, "It's Melissa!"  I texted her because I thought it was sweet.  So, just as the kids were tucked in their bed, there was a knock at the door.  It was Melissa!  She brought her candy bowl and reverse trick-or-treated them.  Joey went to bed a happy haunter.
